Coordinator: Ellen c.c. Kranzer
CCRAZY@WORLD.STD.COM or EKRANZER@HARVARD.EDU
APO-L: For Alpha Phi Omega, a service oriented fraternity which has
chapters on many campuses in the United States. The list will provide
an opportunity for members to compare notes on their chapters, discuss
organizational issues and communicate with members at distant
chapters.
APO-L is an unofficial list and the postings reflect the opinions of
individuals and not the official policy of Alpha Phi Omega. The list
does not take the place of normal lines of communication within the
the fraternity.

-send all commands to LISTSERV@VM.CC.PURDUE.EDU
-do not send commands to APO-L
-send commands interactively or by placing them in the body of a mail
message with no subject line or other text
-commands can be grouped in a single message by placing each command
on a separate line
Here are some useful commands:

::GUIDELINES
The following guidelines apply to APO-L. Please read them. If you
have any questions, please contact the list coordinator. The
guidelines are derived from network policies, netiquette and input
>from subscribers to the list coordinator.
1. When first subscribing to APO-L, please feel free to post a brief
(about a screen's worth) message about yourself to introduce yourself
to the list. Please use private e-mail to respond to someone's
introduction. Please do not send your reply to APO-L as it will
then be sent to the entire list.
2. APO-L makes a concerted effort to keep network traffic and "junk
mail" to a minimum, since there are many subscribers receiving
APO-L through their place of work or pay services such as
Compuserve or MCI Mail. All postings should be related to Alpha Phi
Omega.
3. Netiquette dictates private responses to private email. Please do
not
post private mail to APO-L, EVEN IF YOU CANNOT FIND A MAILING PATH.
Contact your local postmaster or the list coordinator for if you need
help. List subscribers can also be found on the APO-L subscriber
list
using the REV command.
4. Please do not "flame" (insult) individuals over APO-L or in private
mail. Discussions will naturally bring disagreements, however,
rebuttals should always be made in a rational, logical and mature
manner in public or private.
5. Please refrain from using any language that might be considered
questionable (even by the most conservative of us) on APO-L.
6. The chartering of a new chapter should be announced once by either a
representative of the new chapter or the assisting chapter.
Congratulations (which are definitely in order) should be sent via
PRIVATE e-mail.
7. Newly initiated pledge classes may also be announced by a single
representative. Again, congratulations and good wishes should be
sent via PRIVATE e-mail.
8. Invitations to events should only be posted once, unless there is a
change to the original announcement. Arrangements to attend an event
should be made via private email and not across APO-L.
9. Subscription to APO-L is *not* limited to active brothers. Please
do not discuss any rituals or confidential matters of the fraternity
on APO-L.
10. Most of the points above can be summarized by: Keep in mind the
principles which Alpha Phi Omega was founded on and be courteous
to the members of this list.
Thank you for adhering to these guidelines. Although APO-L may not be
the most active of mailing lists, following them will insure that the
majority of people subscribed can and will stay involved.
